@Loki_Leigh @subjacentish @Quenby when I worked at Taco Bell 20 years ago, they tried to make me work the first 6 hours of my 8 hour shifts without a break, because the lunch rush always started mid-shift. This meant no sitting down, etc.

One day when the district manager was in the store, I walked up to him and the store manager and told them this was a violation of state labor law and it needed to stop. They made DAMNED sure that I got my breaks every day after that lol.
